GPA

Courses taken outside UT Tyler are not computed into a student's grade point average.

GPA values are truncated at two decimal places - no rounding is done prior to truncation.

Cumulative GPA values do not 'reset' if a student begins a subsequent program on the same career (Undergraduate or Graduate), such as a Second Baccalaureate or post-Master's certification program. The cumulative GPA on each student's undergraduate or graduate record will reflect all coursework taken at that level, regardless of which program the the coursework was associated with.

Degree GPA values, which are part of the degree posting block on each student's transcript, are stand-alone items representing the cumulative GPA at the time each degree was awarded. As such, they do not change as a result of any future coursework on the same career.

Example: A student completes a Master's degree in Fall 2007 with a 3.50 cumulative GPA, a Second Master's degree in Summer 2010 with a 3.55 cumulative GPA, and further coursework toward a post-Master's certification in Spring 2012, increasing their cumulative GPA to 3.60. This student's transcript would reflect the following GPA information at the end of each term listed:

Fall 2007: A single degree posting with a 3.50 GPA, and a 3.50 cumulative GPA.

Summer 2010: Two degree postings with GPA values of 3.50 and 3.55, respectively, and a cumulative GPA of 3.55.

Spring 2012: Two degree postings with GPA values of 3.50 and 3.55, respectively, and a cumulative GPA of 3.60.
